Detect NowPlaying as screensaver #3

This is a patch I wrote a very long time ago, and is related to (but not required for) the separate brightness settings for playing/stopped. A patch is available in the repo http://server.vijge.net/static/squeezebox/repo-beta.xml and can be installed using Patch Installer.

Description I wrote about it at the time (2012):

The NowPlaying screen is not implemented as an official screen saver. Part of the ReduceBrightness plugin depends on the detection of the screen saver. If you set the screen saver to NowPlaying, it will always detect that the screen saver is not running. This has been reported as a bug, and a fix is supplied. That same fix can already be applied to Squeezebox by applying this patch.

This was reported as a bug in the bugzilla tracker as http://bugs.slimdevices.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17916 but it is no longer available. Forum thread about this patch is at https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?93906-Detecting-screen-saver-with-now-playing-screen-saver
